Shop News: La Bohéme Series

One of my favorite handmade bridal garter series in my Etsy shop, The Sparkling Cocktail, is La Bohéme. This garter series evokes the Flapper era when ladies used decorative garters to keep their stockings up all day. The peacock feather is a symbol of their style and grace. 

All of my garters are made up of a minimum of five parts; two kinds of laces, satin ribbon on the front and back, and elastic in the casing. No stretch lace, here! 

The La Bohéme series is no different. I use blonde, pink, and latte peacock feathers mixed with different color laces and satins. Listings are for either sets or single tossers.

Shop News: The Ma Cherie Series

It's Bridal Season! Some of my best selling items in my Etsy shop, The Sparkling Cocktail, are my handmade bridal garters.  I have created garters in several different series that come in different colors. All of my garters are made up of a minimum of 5 parts; two kinds of laces, satin ribbon on the front and back and elastic in the casing. No stretch lace here! 

Today I'm featuring my series called Ma Cherie. The trim on this series is a pretty vintage lace bow in ivory with a pearl bead center. Hanging down are three ivory satin tassels. 

Here is a highlight of some of the colors available. All listings are for sets. Single tossers can also be requested.
